QNAP Rolls Out Quad-core TS-x53B Series NAS with USB-C QuickAccess and a PCIe Slot for 10GbE, M.2 SSD, or USB 3.1 10Gbps Expandability

Taipei, Taiwan, April 24, 2017 - QNAP® Systems, Inc. today launched the TS-x53B series NAS (available in 2-bay, 4-bay and 6-bay models) with a PCIe expansion slot to meet the growing performance and functional demands from SMB and SOHO users.

"The TS-x53B is the first NAS in its class to provide PCIe expansion, which provides fantastic long-term potential for the NAS to be upgraded to include features such as SSD caching and 10GbE connectivity,” said Jason Hsu, Product Manager of QNAP. “For users who seek high productivity and smart workflows, the TS-x53B series offers a compelling choice in big features,” Hsu added.

Powered by the 14nm Intel® Celeron® J3455 quad-core 1.5GHz processor (burst up to 2.3GHz), dual-channel 4GB/8GB DDR3L RAM (upgradable to 8GB), SATA 6Gb/s drive support with integrated dual Gigabit LAN ports, the TS-x53B series delivers up to 224 MB/s read and write speeds while also maintaining the same outstanding performance with AES-NI accelerated encryption.

Featuring an all-new design with a sliding cover, the TS-x53B series has an OLED panel with dual-capacitive buttons and HDD drive bays with tool-less installation, allowing users to easily install, monitor and manage the NAS. Featuring a USB Type-C QuickAccess port, a SD memory card slot, and a front USB 3.0 port with copy button, transferring files to a NAS has never been easier. The integrated speaker allows for audio alerts and playback while a 3.5mm audio jack allows for the TS-x53B to be connected to dedicated speakers. The dual HDMI output support up to 4K 30Hz display and the included remote control allows for easy navigation.

The QTS-Linux dual systems TS-x53B series also allows users to develop or utilize IoT packages for Linux® and display them using HDMI output. Users can also host virtual machines and containers on the TS-x53B through Virtualization Station and Container Station. Storage space can be flexibly expanded using 8-bay UX-800P or 5-bay UX-500P expansion units or with QNAP VJBOD technology that allows the unused space of a QNAP NAS to expand the capacity of other QNAP NAS.
